Nathan Walker

Art Team

International Technical Director & Head of Technical Education

Nathan Walker is a colour guru - dubbed the colour doctor by his celeb clients who want to chop and change their shade as often as their outfits. Not surprisingly, Nathan holds the L'Oreal Specialist Degree and is a member of the portfolio group of artistic hairdressers. He judges the L'Oreal Colour Trophy, BHA's and was shortlisted in the Creative Head Most Wanted Awards Colour Expert category.

Nathan has created many techniques for all of the Trevor Sorbie collections, and while he rocks everything from vivid reds to subtle blonds and everything in-between, he says "I guess my signature is that I never ever colour for colours sake, and I have held my hands up and refused to colour when nature has beaten me and I can't improve on it."

Jo is one of the hot talents to watch at Trevor Sorbie.

Anna Chapman

Art Team

Director

One of the best known names in the Art Team, Anna has taken the industry by storm. At 27 she is already Salon Director at our Brighton salon, scooped BHA Newcomer Award in 2007, won the L'oreal Colour Trophy Men's image 2008 and was finalist for Southern Hairdresser of the Year 2008.

Anna says "My influences come from everyday things around me, like nature, architecture, fabrics, shapes and hairdressing of the past. I try to keep things naturally beautiful. I like to work technically with a visual finish."

Julia Saroian

Art Team

Director

Julia fulfilled her career dream when she joined Trevor Sorbie in July 2007. Julia started hairdressing 12 years ago in Heidelberg, Germany. She says, "My first boss was Vidal Sassoon-trained and one of the most successful hairdressers of his time. I had a very enjoyable and supportive apprenticeship, and I started cutting clients' hair in my first year; by the third year I did my first seminars in cut and colour. I always loved to teach and pass on my knowledge so after passing my master craftsmen exams in 2004 I taught in this school biology, chemistry and history of fashion and hair.".

Julia's approach to hairdressing keeps her clients loyal. "I love classic, beautiful, creative haircuts with a twist, which have to complement the face and body shape as well as the client's styling habits at home. I try to change my clients' look every time they come in, even if it's just a little bit so that my clients I don't get bored." Given her artistic leanings it's no surprise that if she wasn't a hairdresser she'd be "a designer of some sort... make-up artist, photographer, fashion designer or stylist, architect, carpenter, who knows! But I love my job, I wouldn't be anything but a hairdresser."

Tom Connell

Art Team

Creative Stylist

Tom is a Creative Stylist in the Covent Garden Salon and member of the Art Team. Born in Greater Manchester, Tom relocated to London in June 2009 to train and work for Trevor Sorbie, "passing the final test is just the beginning, because of the standard of work around you it constantly pushes you to keep trying to raise the bar."

2011 has been an exciting year for Tom, as he joined the Art Team in March and begun teaching juniors in August. "The Art Team test was a big eye opener as I didn't realise how much I'd enjoy explaining and showing people my work and the idea process behind them."

In the future Tom plans to do more and more shows and seminars with the Art Team and to get the chance to show his work to as many people as possible. His aim is to produce work good enough to inspire others and get them excited about the hair industry.
